Agitator 2018 Berry Bro´s Collective #1 - 57,7%
Collective #1 The Pioneers
“In collaboration with cocktail genius Mr. Lyan, Berry Bros. & Rudd sought out a unique community of like-minded distillers from around the world. These distillers are united by their desire to produce exceptional spirits while creatively challenging conventions to reduce their impact on our planet’s natural resources.”
This Swedish single malt whisky from the Agitator distillery was distilled in 2018 and bottled in 2023 for the Collective #1 series after maturation in a first-fill sherry hogshead.
“With a complex body, this Swedish whisky greets the nose with notes of mushroom and moss. Subsequent notes of fine peat smoke and umami follow. The Berry Bros. & Rudd Agitator is full-bodied and spicy on the palate. It tastes of leather, waffles, and pastries. ” There are maritime salt notes and smoke. The finish is spicy and long-lasting. The Agitator bids farewell with smoke and dried fruit.

Product information "Agitator 2018 Berry Bro´s Collective #1 - 57,7%"
Sweden only moved onto the whisky map after Mackmyra was founded in the late 1990s. With Smögen Whisky, the young whisky nation has another landmark. The distillery is named after a Swedish picture-perfect fishing village in the Skagerrak. However, it owes its popularity among connoisseurs in and outside Sweden to its intensely smoky small batch single malts, which are now also available in Germany.
The whiskys are handcrafted down to the last drop. The hands belong to the founder, lawyer, whisky enthusiast and author Pär Caldenby, who was able to separate the tailings from the heart of a distillate at Smögen Whisky for the first time in August 2010. He built his craft distillery from scratch in the outbuildings of a former farm. These house, among other things, two small copper pot stills (one only holds 900 liters), bourbon and sherry casks as well as a "worm tub condenser" - a cooling system that has become rare, which makes the raw spirit heavier and fuller.
In general, the following applies to Smögens single malts: They are powerful, distinctive drops with a clear smoky note, maritime echoes and malty sweetness. For Heavily Peated Swedish Single Malts in the same peat weight class as Caol Ila or Ballechin, Caldenby imports peat malt from Scotland.

A new bottling in the series takes us to the south of the small town of Elgin, where the Glen Elgin Distillery is surrounded by the greenery of Speyside. Completed in 1898, it was the last distillery to be built in the boom phase of the 1890s. To this day, it uses a “wormtub condenser” – a rare cooling system that makes the raw spirit heavier and fuller in flavour. The soft, fruity character of its single malts is also reflected in Glen Elgin 2014/2023: typical notes of marmalade, apples and pears are complemented on the nose by crème brûlée and cream with sweet spices. On the strong, full-bodied palate, there is a harmonious balance between fruit and oak. A dram full of character that makes you wonder why Glen Elgin is not one of the biggest names in the Scotch whisky industry…
